MH-24 Quick Charger

Used my MH-24 battery charger one time and it performed. The charger will not perform on the 2nd use. Bought a new battery, believing I may have a bad battery, but now I´m convinced it´s the charger device. One use is all I got out of this battery charger.
The camera produces beautiful work, but the charger is a throw away. Maybe they should be priced and sold as such.

This is a ´´Me too´´ review. Charger worked for a couple of months, then the LCD stopped working. It continued charging for another month or so #and I´d charge the battery for only several hours each time#, then nothing. $60.00 replacement. Since I doubt that a replacement would be at no cost, I opened the charger up looking for any obvious problem, i.e. cracked board, faulty solder weld. I found nothing. I would rather pay an additional few bucks for a quality charger. Camera´s fine, but this weak link has kept me from using it.

I must say that I have never had any of the problems some of the others have seem to have had. I have had mine for almost 2 years now and they have been put through thorough and hard use without ever failing me and this goes for the batteries too. I even went and purchased an additional charger and now have 5 batteries total and none of them have failed or let me down at any time. I do not buy from ´´big box stores like Costco or Best buy or such. I only purchase through Professional camera shops with a great reputation. I do not know if this is the difference between those who do not or what?
I cannot complain about the batteries or the chargers as I have never experienced any problems what so ever. I can only say that I am extremely satisfied with what I have purchased from Nikon to date and have never been let down by them in any way. I switched over to Nikon from Canon and have never looked back or regretted it one bit.

Bought the charger at a big box store as part of a bundle. Three months after purchase the charger no longer worked. The camera is doing great - but I will run out of battery at some point and then what?

First I want to give feedback about site. I cannot figure out how to respond to the question/answer that is already on the site. This is awful that I cannot continue the thread. I did not expect this from a technology company.

I had earlier mentioned that my battery was not getting charged, but, after getting a second battery and trying to charge it did not work, and now I can conclude that it is the charger. Several folks have mentioned that their charger or battery is of poor quality. Nikon should definitely change their supplier for charger or battery. I have already spent $40 on a spare battery and now another $44 for a charger. I am really dissatisfied with Nikon. Considering that this is happening within 6 months of purchasing it from Costco is simply unacceptable.

When it is plugged into the wall the charging led is very dim and blinks quickly.

When it was functioning properly, the charging LED indicator was bright and blinking in a slower pattern.
(It has never shown the fully charged ´´End´´ state LED pattern of a solid light being on since it was purchased.)

Our previous model charger never had any issues like this, it was a solid unit and seemed to be of much better quality.

We are very dissatisfied with this product. ( especially because I have read and viewed other people online having the same issues as we have )

Our camara is working fine on the other hand.

This is a compact, easy to carry and operate battery charger. When I unpacked my D5100 and put the MH-24 into operation charging the battery it became clear that the charger is quite essential to the camera; not the sort of thing to lose. Buying a second MH-24 as a back up was one of my next purchases.
